 `set-window-dedicated-p' (with a "d") is not needed.=C2=A0 An= other buffer may
appear in this window if and only if it has been set up to use the same
side and slot.

=E2=80=8BGreat.

In the doc str= ing for display-buffer-in-side-window, it says: "Unless =E2=80=98displ= ay-buffer-mark-dedicated=E2=80=99 is non-nil, softly
dedicate the side win= dow used to BUFFER."

No one will know what 'softly dedicate= ' means.=C2=A0 If it means what you said above, that should be explaine= d in the doc string too.

Indeed, see Bug#27999.

It is working well for me in use = with the Treemacs package.
